NASCAR Fans Stay Connected With In Car Audio Through New Mobile Technology Digital Orchid’s Wireless Platform Gives Racing Fans Real-Time Access To NASCAR Drivers SAN DIEGO, CA, October 31, 2005 — Digital Orchid, the industry’s leading innovator in the development, management, and distribution of branded real time wireless applications, today announced the launch of In Car Audio for NASCAR fans. Digital Orchid has recently completed the roll-out of its latest wireless NASCAR product to major United States wireless carriers, enabling NASCAR fans to download in car audio and audio clips of their favorite NASCAR drivers to their mobile phone during a race. This real-time In Car Audio application is the latest in a series of applications that provides NASCAR fans unparalleled access to the sport and its stars. Developed by Digital Orchid, the industry’s leading innovator in the development, management, and distribution of branded real time wireless applications, In Car Audio lets race fans listen to live, in-car audio from some of the sport’s most popular drivers, including Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Kurt Busch. In addition, race fans can listen to weekly audio clips from the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, with interviews and commentary available on a data-enabled phone. In Car Audio is available as part of the NASCAR.COM To Go subscriber package that is sold through local wireless retailers. “In car audio and audio clips are the ultimate tool for the NASCAR fan,” said Chris Duggan, president of Digital Orchid. “The depth of information and entertainment is astonishing with audio content, and racing fans can now feel connected to their driver during the race.” Digital Orchid’s In Car Audio is the latest wireless application for die-hard NASCAR racing fans to enter the mobile entertainment market. Digital Orchid’s suite of wireless NASCAR.com applications were launched to the public earlier in the year and include the award winning NASCAR.COM TO GO and PitCommand?which was specifically developed for NASCAR.com. PitCommand was the first wireless application to offer NASCAR fans access to real time race information using telemetry and GPS technology delivered directly to the cellular handset. In addition, Digital Orchid also offers NASCAR wallpaper, ring-tones and video clip highlights, which can be downloaded to video capable handsets. “With today’s evolving mobile technology landscape, we believe that great wireless applications are key to continued growth in the distribution of branded entertainment,” stated Scott Bailey, Vice President/General Manager of NASCAR.COM. “Adding this In Car Audio application is the latest unique way our customers can participate in the NASCAR experience. This takes what was previously available at track or at home, and allows our fans to follow the action anywhere they go.” In addition to NASCAR, Digital Orchid offers other industry wireless brands such as ChampCar World Series, NHRA Championship Drag Racing and AMA Pro Racing to racing enthusiasts.
